Brewster Ford V8 Town Car & Convertible Sedan

In 1934 employee J.S. Inskip, who had taken control of operations to save Brewster from the Depression, purchased 135 Ford V8 roadster chassis and designed a body for it, identified by its swoopy fenders and a heart-shaped grille.
Stylish and sold for only $3,500, it was a hit at the 1934 New York Auto Show.
The bodies were worth more than the chassis.
These cars were registered as Brewsters and sold at Rolls-Royce showrooms, and were not branded as Fords.
Edsel Ford acquired the first shipped example, which was the third Ford Brewster ever built.
It was the only one made with the standard Ford grille instead of the Brewster heart-shaped grille, and had the standard Brewster dash rather than the Ford dash which was usually installed.
It was one of Edsel Ford's few personal cars and still survives today in remarkable condition, unrestored.

Inskip marketed the car to New York celebrities with whom it became popular.
Some famous Brewster Ford owners: Al Jolson, Cole Porter, Lily Pons, Gertrude Lawrence, Fred Waring and Victor Moore.
